Kari from Colorado Springs

Hi everyone!

Signed up for Bhuz a while ago but never introduced myself. I've been dancing a little over three years and perform primarily with Mizmar Madness, an American Tribal Style troupe here in the Springs. I also perform with our studio's oriental troupe Baharat Sharqi. Have recently begun teaching ATS which is a whooooole new adventure. :)

If you need me, I'll be drooling over the sparkly bits on the swaps forum.

Welcome! I was first introduced to belly dance in C. Springs while attending college. It's good to know that the belly dance community is still thriving there.

Thanks! Colorado has a fabulous dance community. We are really lucky.

Who was your instructor while you were here?

I learned from a really sweet lady who was involved in the SCA. I don't recall her mundane/real name. I think she went by the SCA name Salome. I've wanted to get in touch with her to thank her for her inspiration but I'm afraid she may no longer live there. I studied with her back in 1989.

My boyfriend's family lives out in C. Springs so one of these days we'll visit them. Hopefully I will be able to catch a hafla or show while I'm there.
